ok, to be fair: I did not buy the juices directly from the co-op runner, nor Tasty Vapor. I purchased them from a fellow PIFer that decided they didn't want them. They were sent to me immediately, and I never doubted their honesty. I believe the bottles were sent to me as they received them (just wanted to be up front with my involement)
My co-op was, I think, number 3? The one with AC, Tastyfinger, Geoffs Blend, etc
My impressions.
Upon first opening the box, I was overwhelmed with the scent of Lime Oil.--
(Note: I cannot tolerate the lime oil, or lime flavoring. When I had some lime and key lime, it made me physically ill and after boiling, cresting, and using PGA, I could not get the smell out of my attys and had to toss them. So I am SUPER sensitive to lime.)
--I had to wash down all the little co-op bottles, toss the original baggie, and I could still smell the lime on the bottles. Two of them in particular were stronger smelling (the Key Lime and Geoffs Blend) Those I put in a separate baggie.
I then test tested them (without adding any extra nic, I didn't want to weaken the flavorings) I only vaped those that I thought would not have any lime, since the flavor was still so strong on the bottles (to me).
Out of the 20 (?) bottles, I liked 4, ok. The rest I didn't like at all. I decided was just my taste buds. After I finished, I realized my atty smelled like lime. Ug. I tried to clean it, and couldn't get out the smell, so I tossed it. I didn't think I had vaped anything that had lime in it.
What I remember on the flavors... the Dulche De Leche was so weak, it tasted like water. I could barely detect any flavoring at all. It was like one of those waters with a dash of lemon (very faint flavor). The German Chocolate Cake (which was one that wasn't too bad) was almost 50% lighter than another doubler sample I already had. The AC tasted off... almost metallic. All of the darker colored flavors looked lighter than ones I had come across.
I didn't think much of it, nor did I question anything, I decided that TV flavors were just not for me, and I put them up for PIFing, since they are a highly sought after liquid. It wasn't until I was questioned about it, by a couple people, that I started to think about it, and wonder why.
Now I feel very badly about PIFing them, and I hope they are OK.
